Gavage [Tampa, Asheville, AJ's, Heirloom, Calle Latina, Miso Izakaya]

April 12, 2013

Been a while since I’ve had a Gavage post, in which I dump a bunch of content not necessarily appropriate for a single topic post. You could also call it the “hey, look what I’ve been doing” series, or the “yeah, I eat and drink a lot and my doctor said I may have a [...]

Ben’s Brown Bag

April 5, 2013

First there was LeRoy’s Chicken (Leh-Roy, not Lee-Roy, bubba). They had everything going for it – high quality chicken, a classically trained and respected chef, rich and trendy pork lard for frying, and beautiful broasting fryers. Everything, except a consistently well executed fried chicken with an enjoyable (read: not flacid and falling apart gummy) exterior. [...]

Paper Plane

April 5, 2013

Paper Plane, the restaurant sharing space and ownership with the new Victory Sandwich Bar in Decatur, is now open. Victory has been open for a stretch, but I was waiting for the Paul Calvert helmed counterpart to open before I made the trek from Buckhead to Decatur. Paper Plane shares a kitchen with Victory, but [...]

Moonie’s Texas Barbeque

April 4, 2013

Have you heard of Moonie’s Texas BBQ in Flowery Branch? Probably not. Though it pains me as a world-famous blogger to admit, until a few days ago, I too was in the dark on this one. A friend (who happens to be leaving today on a multi-day Texas BBQ eating trip from Houston to Dallas) told [...]

Bhojanic Buckhead

March 30, 2013

Bhojanic Buckhead (the other outpost being in Decatur) has been open a few weeks, at the Shops at Lenox next door to Dantanna’s. It was fairly packed. Live music had just ended when we arrived, which I was later told was a little loud. It’s nice inside, nicer than expected. The menu has a bit [...]

Pizza

March 28, 2013

Been a while since I posted about my pizza-making exploits.  I’ve tried two new methods over the last few months, and plan on getting it going again here in the next couple of weeks. First there is the Serious Eats (Kenji) “fool-proof” pan pizza. The dough requires little work. No kneading to speak of, just [...]

North Carolina [Price’s – J. Betski’s – Poole’s – Spring House – Biscuitville

March 21, 2013

Another post for the travelers out there. I want some new Atlanta content but have been a little uninspired lately. Also, I’ve been traveling a lot, and when I was in town last week I was dealing with what my doctor thinks was a nasty foodborne infection that caused severe pain whenever I ate. Hey, [...]

McCrady’s

March 9, 2013

Let me present some photographs from a meal a couple months ago at McCrady’s, in Charleston, South Carolina. This was my fourth visit, but only the second time I opted for the tasting menu. My first foray was impressive, but this recent visit was simply extraordinary.
